Very nice. Yes, I would love to know more about how you're using Gentoo |
| 7 |
commercially. |

In the past, I've done some production installs of FreeBSD with success, |
| 10 |
but not w/Linux yet. A Gentoo deployment should be more controllable, in |
| 11 |
my estimation, than FreeBSD, but there's a lot of work to be done on both |
| 12 |
to make them more sane for commercial environments. IMO, the first |
| 13 |
priority is just minimizing the rate/amt of change. That's half the |
| 14 |
battle. IT folks can't be burdened with the minutae of researching & |
| 15 |
testing lots of tiny little package updates. |

The "don't rsync" solution is a kludge... we need something a tad more |
| 18 |
thoughtful, functional than that. :-) |

If you don't mind my asking, how many of your Gentoo machines are |
| 21 |
workstations? Servers? What kind of work is done on these machines? |
